Stuck at Home With a Toxic Person: 7 Ways to Keep Your Sanity

Once matter and energy were self-organized into the first, simplest living organisms, at least here on this planet, meaning emerged - in the sense of significance and value–albeit only initially in the most elementary sense. Living organisms, even simple ones lacking any semblance of a nervous system, let alone a brain or consciousness, have rudimentary goals - to survive and reproduce. They are thus intentional, purpose-driven agents.

Purpose

An intentional agent can interpret patterns as being about something of value to itself concerning its environment. For example, glucose is of value to a bacterium–it signifies or means energy to the bacterium.

Value

An intentional agent forms an internal representation of a thing in its environment (glucose), enabling it to recognize, respond to, and process that thing. The internal representation has value and meaning to the organism in that it represents something good or bad for the organism - promoting or impeding its survival and reproduction.

Internal Representations

Internal representations may refer to things in the environment. They bear a relation or correlation to that thing. They signify or mean that thing. According to a helpful definition by the evolutionary biologist Eva Jablonka and neuroscientist Simona Ginsburg, “a sign refers to, denotes, designates, implies, points to or represents, something… A sign thus ‘carries’ functional information.”

Referring to “Things”

In the realm of biosemiotics - the study of signs and meaning in living organisms and systems - scientists “use the term ‘sign’ to denote a ‘carrier’ of functional information: a predictive, designating or representing input (e.g., predictive sensory cue such as a black cloud signaling rain, an alarm call, a welcoming gesture, a word, etc.) that requires a process of interpretation that guides the interpreter’s actions and re-actions.”

Thing, Sign, Carrier

Neuroanthropologist Terrence Deacon laid out a 3-nested conception of information in which the lowest level is just a quantitative measure of the content communicated by the information, and the highest level is the significance or meaning of the information:<ol><li>Shannon information (referring to the mid-20th century theory by Claude Shannon) is the most minimal and basic conception of information.</li><li>Referential information, in which information is understood to be about something, is emergent from Shannon's information.</li><li>Significant - or useful - information is emergent from referential information. </li></ol>

Significant (or Useful) Information

Most learning by organisms is based on establishing correlations between things–correspondences or associations. Positive and negative reinforcement (rewards and consequences) in the process of learning by association leads brains to assign value to stimuli–“good”-ness or “bad”-ness. The mental representations that encode and store this information mean something to the animal because they are correlated with something in the environment. The meaning associated with the representation is thus relational, derived from the correlations with the thing being referred to.

Learning and Value

Symbols differ from simpler signs in that “the use of symbols requires analogical reasoning–the understanding that signs stand for things,” as evolutionary biologist Eva Jablonka and neuroscientist Simona Ginsburg explained. They noted that “language is the paradigmatic symbolic system, and for many, the very core of our humanity.”

From Signs, To Symbols, To Language

The computational neuroscientists Ogi Ogas and Sai Gaddam noted that one of the most important and enigmatic forms of human mental activity is the investment of raw sensory information with private meaning in the form of language. Only human minds can forge a mental link between words and meanings easily, instinctively, and incessantly because only human minds have evolved resonant connectivity between our language module and other consciousness-generating modules in our brain circuitry.

Investing Information With Meaning

Quantum mechanics, the fundamental physics theory that describes nature's physical properties at the scale of atoms and subatomic particles, is spectacularly successful in its practical and technological applications. But its interpretation leaves many unanswered questions about what it is really telling us about the fundamental nature of reality. One of several scientifically serious, credible contending theories is the “relational interpretation” of quantum mechanics proposed by the Italian physicist Carlo Rovelli.

Fundamentally, All Existence Might Be Relational

According to Rovelli’ theory, objects don’t exist independently of each other; they only exist relationally, as defined by their interactions. The world is not composed of “things” that “have” properties. Rather, the properties of a system are determined when the system interacts with any other system - in relation to that other system. All aspects of the world are relational (even space and time).

I Exist Because I Interact

We have discovered that, at the core of the physical reality, it’s not particles, it’s relational connections […] Each object is defined by the way it interacts with something else. So when it’s not interacting, it’s just not existing. An object is the ensemble of the ways in which it affects other objects around itself—an object exists reflected in everything else.

Our brains are constantly pattern-seeking, ceaselessly making connections between things and habitually deciphering meaning from and assigning value to our experiences. As symbolic, analogical thinkers, our brains routinely create higher-level symbolic representations of the connections between various experiences, distilling the essence of perceived correspondences between those experiences into more abstract ideas —including existential philosophical contemplations about what it all means.

Meaning in Life

Social psychologist Roy Baumeister suggested that “the meaning of life is the same kind of meaning as the meaning of a sentence in several important respects: having the parts fit together into a coherent pattern, being capable of being understood by others, fitting into a broader context, and invoking implicit assumptions shared by other members of the culture.

Seeing Life As A Sentence

And so we derive our narrative, a meaningful life story that weaves together all the parts of our identity and personal history. Importantly, our narrative includes all the ways in which we have had some relational effect, however small, on the people and other sentient beings around us - hopefully leaving them just a little better than they would otherwise have been if we had not been here.

A Meaningful Life

We might paraphrase Rovelli’s explanation about fundamental particles: Our life is the ensemble of the ways in which we affect other lives around ourselves–and the ways in which they affect us. Our life exists reflected in everyone else. The psychiatrist Irvin Yalom, who has written extensively about the challenges of coming to terms with our ultimate death, quoted a patient whose mother used to say of people who had died, “Look for her among her friends.”

An Object Exists When Reflected

In the beginning, there was matter and energy. There was no meaning to it. Yet, now there is plenty of meaning–at least to us, in the sense that we use the term: significance. So, where did all this meaning come from? How did meaning enter a universe that lacks inherent meaning?

Meaning is relational; nothing has existence or meaning in and of itself.

The Worst Dating Advice You’ll Ever Hear

We’ve been taught to value other people’s opinions more highly than our own. So we develop the habit of worrying more about how others see us than how we see ourselves. This results in a culture where people try to please others to be liked but are ultimately unfulfilled since they do not like themselves.

Not all opinions are important, we can’t make everyone happy

We have to understand that everyone’s perspective of us, and society is unique and subjective. So, while they may be correct about something due to the narrative in their head, it may be completely incorrect for us.
Someone may be having a bad day at work or a bad week at home; these are beyond our control and, most likely, not known to us. While these factors may influence how they react to us, they have nothing to do with us. But, we take everything personally. When a friend snaps at us, we question ourselves. “Did I do anything wrong?” “Did I bother him/her at an inappropriate time?”

We can’t make everyone happy. It’s a straight-up fact!

“The pressure that women feel to be people-pleasers is very real. … Young girls are told to be quiet and pleasant, to be orientated toward others, to not speak up for what they want, and to please others. These gender-based stereotypes are continuously reinforced in our society in a manner that distinctly disadvantages women

We stretch ourselves too far in order to please people and ‘adjust’ in society, we miss the thin boundary we had. We’re left wondering, “How much did I alter for society?” “What kind of progress did I create for myself?” “Am I still the same person?”

For People Pleasers

Our desire to be liked can keep us from doing things that are important to us because we will be preoccupied with weighing what others think and what they may say.We won’t be able to try new things because we’ll worry about what people will think if we’re not good at them. All of this will only increase the pressure and worry related to living up to expectations.Eventually, it will prevent us from discovering our true selves.

Consequences

Our basic social and emotional requirements include that desire. So what do we do?
<ul>
<li>Embrace disagreement — It’s normal for people to disagree, and there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s a good thing because we all have unique life experiences that shape our perspectives.</li>
<li>Realize that other people’s opinions are not our concern. They reflect a person’s mindset. So, if we have a positive friend, they are likely to have positive thoughts and perspectives of the world. Similarly, angry people have more negative opinions and perceptions. And we cannot control what they think.</li>
</ul>

There’s nothing wrong with wanting to be liked by people.

<ul><li>Highly sensitive people (HSPs) are empathetic, deeply sensing individuals who are remarkably in tune to the world around them. </li><li>That HSPs should toughen up is a notion that the creators of the world’s largest community for sensitive people say should end. </li><li>Normalizing what HSPs bring to the table is essential. </li> </ul>

7 Things To know About Highly Sensitive People - Key points

Stop being so sensitive. Yeesh, you’re so easily overwhelmed by everything. According to Jenn Granneman and Andre Sólo, authors of the book Sensitive (Harmony Books, 2023), the truth is: yes, highly sensitive people (HSPs) are indeed sensitive. Very sensitive. And, yes, they are easily overwhelmed by <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/environment">the environment </a>around them. However, what the authors emphasize is that, no, they don’t have to stop feeling this way. Nor should they be shamed for being this way.

Highly Sensitive People (HSP)

In fact, during an interview with Sólo, he explains that being an <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/highly-sensitive-person">HSP </a>—someone who has stronger reactions than others and processes what’s happening in the environment much more deeply—is precisely what society needs.

Stronger Reactions

“The world has had enough of toughness,” Sólo says. He should know. He and co-author Granneman are c reators of the world’s largest community for sensitive people, Highly Sensitive Refuge, where HSPs can find solace in the stories from and about sensitive people of all walks of life. Sólo adds that it’s high time society embraces their high degree of <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/empathy">empathy </a>and sensitivity rather than view it as something to change.

Highly Sensitive Refuge 

Ours is a world that tends to prize or listen more to those who are the loudest, more overt, or quickest to respond, Sólo explains. HSPs—individuals who are brimming with empathy and who are more deeply in tune with the environment around them, right down to subtle nuances and micro-expressions—bring a soothing balm to the "too loud" table.

1. Their Sensitivity is a Calming Necessity. 

Sólo explains that HSPs often add immense value to the conversation, project, or task at hand. They may not be the loudest, speak up first, talk over others, or even say anything at all during a meeting or a family conversation. But, rest assured, Sólosays, they are taking in the information, processing it, and about to create or convey something wonderful. This could be a unique <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/parenting">parenting </a>point of view, a work strategy that wasn’t previously considered, or a physical work of art—or all of the above.

2. HSPs offer invaluable insight.

The world is in infinite demand for what they offer, Sólosays of HSPs. They are the deep thinkers, the passionate, ultra-<a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/human-kind/201907/why-do-some-people-express-insincere-kindness">kind </a>, sensing, and creative types. This isn't to say that non-HSPs aren't passionate or creative. It's just that the HSP has “a mind that is processing more, which translates to contributing even more, whether it’s in the tech field or creating a beautiful sculpture.”

3. Their unique gifts are in high demand. 

Nearly one in three people are highly sensitive, Sólosays. “They are not alone or a weirdo! Their amazing <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/personality">personality </a>is tied to <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/intelligence">giftedness </a>and is one of the best things about them. The world needs to normalize and embrace this.”

4. HSPs are not weirdos! 

One big myth is that HSPs need to toughen up. It's a common expression that was conveyed in <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/child-development">childhood </a>and still is even into adulthood. Sólofeels strongly about bidding that notion adieu . He explains that HSPs don’t need to get over anything or grow a thicker skin. Rather, the world needs to enjoy the benefits they offer, especially in a world where big, loud, and drama-infused behaviors tend to be merited.

5. They don’t need to grow a thicker skin.

Sólo’s advice to HSPs: “Know your limits and set boundaries. Such a strong sense of empathy makes you want to help everyone, which can be draining, even more if what you give is infrequently, or never, reciprocated.” He says that it’s perfectly fine to tell someone, “I had a <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/stress">stressful </a>week and can’t talk tonight, but here's what I can suggest now.” Then consider offering a raincheck, or recommending a therapist, book, or another helpful resource. “It’s essential to take the time to focus on you," he says, "to recharge so you can become that wonderfully amazing limitless well.”

6. Boundary-setting is essential. 

There shouldn’t be any <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/embarrassment">shame </a>associated with being a deeply feeling and sensing person with boundless empathy. If, for example, someone says that you’re raising your child to be sensitive, Sólo suggests respondingby proudly acknowledging that he or she is indeed a sensitive child. Then add, “it’s something we are trying to encourage.”

7. Their personality needs to be normalized. 

Highly sensitive people have a lot to offer the world; their ability to feel and process more deeply and thoroughly than others should be viewed as a welcome breath of fresh air in an often fast and frenzied society.

A Psychological Diagnosis About People Who Lie About Everything 

"It's a basic truth of the human condition that everybody lies. The only variable is about what."—Hugh Laurie

Quote On Lying 

Truth be told, we all lie sometimes. <a href="https://www.uwlax.edu/currents/how-often-do-people-lie/">Ninety percent </a>of our deceptions are white lies told to protect ourselves, to avoid getting into trouble, and to spare someone else’s feelings. For the most part, the lies we tell are motivated by an external reason. They are typically defensive to avoid the consequences of truth-telling—"I swear I have no idea what happened to that plate of cookies.” They may be tactical—“I never received your email” or <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/altruism">altruistic </a>—“You look great in that dress.”

Truth About Lying

Lying may be an integral part of our daily lives, but there is a big difference between “normal” lying and pathological lying, also known as pseudologia fantastica. The term pseudologia fantastica (PF) was first coined by the German physician, Anton Delbrueck, in 1891 to describe the phenomenology of a group of patients who told lies that were obviously extreme and fantastical with a clear departure from reality to the observer, yet perceived by the patients themselves as within the realm of possibility. People with PF lie about everything constantly, eloquently, excessively, and chronically.

Normal Verses Pathological Lying 

These individuals <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Brad-Kelln/publication/247501304_A_review_and_case_report_of_pseudologia_fantastica/links/5563672a08ae9963a11eef50/A-review-and-case-report-of-pseudologia-fantastica.pdf">“indulge in a veritable orgy of lying” </a> to serve an ego-driven, internally motivated longing for how they wish the world would be and would see them. For instance, if your neighbor has a dilapidated but cherished old car and asks your opinion about it, you might stretch the truth and say something along the lines of, “I think your car is fabulous.” However, someone with PF would respond, “I have 10 vintage sports cars, all in top condition, at my large, private estate in Monaco.” The person with PF lies to self-aggrandize, not to flatter the neighbor.

Ego-Driven Lying

Moreover, unlike cons who lie for external gain or profit, people with PF tell lies that go above and beyond what would be necessary to pull off a successful swindle. They are out of proportion to any obvious external reward. The lies they tell are “almost always dazzling or fantastical,” and easily roll off their tongue. Sometimes they lie “just because.” Lying is inherently gratifying for them. These are the people who lie about what they ate for lunch.

Out Of Proportion Lying

While there is no current gold-standard definition of pseudologia fantastica, <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5442346/">several key characteristics </a>have been identified:<ol><li>They chronically tell lies or untrue stories that are unrelated to, or out of proportion to, any clear, objective benefit.</li><li>Qualitatively, the stories are dramatic, detailed, complicated, colorful, and fantastic.</li></ol>

Key characteristics of pseudologia fantastica

3. The stories typically feature the pseudologue as the hero or victim and seem geared to achieve acceptance, admiration, and sympathy;4. I terms of insight, the pseudologue lies somewhere along a spectrum between conscious deceit and delusion, not always conscious of his motives and seeming at least intermittently to believe his stories yet never to reach the level of conviction that would indicate a loss of reality-testing.

Key characteristics of pseudologia fantastica (Continued

Most people are mortified and ashamed when their lies are exposed but not those with PF. When confronted with their <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/deception">deception </a>, people with PF are typically unfazed. They don’t break out in hives or lose sleep or sweat. Rather, they double down, sometimes providing further elaborate details to explain the lies.

Confronting Deception

That said, in the face of incontrovertible evidence, they will—reluctantly —relinquish their tall tales. This stands in contrast to people with a delusional disorder who cling to their fixed false beliefs no matter what. PF often overlaps with borderline, antisocial, and <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/narcissism">narcissistic </a><a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/personality-disorders">personality disorders </a>, but not always. Sometimes they are stand-alone liars.

Delusional Lying

Confronting the person with their deceptions will likely backfire. As tempting as it is to take a prosecutorial approach and attempt to extract a mea culpa from the individual, save your breath. Exposure and questioning tend to stimulate further fabrication and evasion.

There is no cure for pseudologia fantastica

In a clinical setting, there is evidence that showing disinterest in the tales but maintaining interest in the person may help reduce the <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/motivation">motivation </a>to lie. While there is no guarantee of successful treatment, I think we can all agree that these people belong in a therapist’s office and not in political office.
